Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer.
Douglas Adams
The more Susan waited, the more the doorbell didn't ring. Or the phone.
Douglas Adams
Siamese Cats have a way of staring at you. Those who have walked in on the Queen cleaning her teeth will know the expression.
Douglas Adams
If you ever find you need help again, you know, if you're in trouble, need a hand out of a corner... Yeah? Please don't hesitate to get lost.
Douglas Adams
How do you know you're having fun if there's no one watching you have it?
Douglas Adams
Time is the worst place, so to speak, to get lost in, as Arthur Dent could testify, having been lost in both time and space a good deal. At least being lost in space kept you busy.
Douglas Adams
There's nothing worse than sitting down to write a novel and saying, Well, okay, I'm going to do something of high artistic worth. It's funny.
Douglas Adams
When the idea comes, I often can't remember where it came from. I remember very little about writing the first series of Hitchhiker's. It's almost as if someone else wrote it.

Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
We live in strange times. We also live in strange places, each in a universe of our own. The people with whom we populate our universe are the shadows of whole other universes intersecting with our own.
Douglas Adams
Assumptions are the things we don't know we're making.
Douglas Adams

Douglas Adams
If you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.
Douglas Adams
I have terrible periods of lack of confidence. I just don't believe I can do it and no evidence to the contrary will sway me from that view.
Douglas Adams
No one really knows what mattresses are meant to gain from their lives either. They are large, friendly, pocket-sprung creatures that live quiet private lives in the marshes of Sqornshellous Zeta. Many of them get caught, slaughtered, dried out, shipped out and slept on. None of them seems to mind this and all of them are called Zem.
Douglas Adams
Fiordland, a vast tract of mountainous terrain that occupies the south-west corner of South Island, New Zealand, is one of the most astounding pieces of land anywhere on God's earth, and one's first impulse, standing on a cliff top surveying it all, is simply to burst into spontaneous applause.
Douglas Adams
And then, just when you think that you have experienced all the wonders that this world has to offer, you round a peak and suddenly think you're doing the whole thing over again, but this time on drugs.
Douglas Adams
I rarely end up where I was intending to go, but often I end up somewhere I needed to be.
